the falcon littleborough?

where's littleborough?

The Sommerrodelbahn at GroBbuchlberg bei Mitterteich?

The Shakkin' Briggie at Cults, Aberdeen - but you must have crossed it and climbed down the other side.

The Inversneckie Cafe or The Washington Soda Fountain on the prom at Aberdeen - sliders optional.

Any of the Islay distilleries?

St Ninian's Isle in the Shetlands - but it must have been on a day so hot you couldn't stand on the sand.

Headquarters of the Monster Raving Looney Party in Yateley, Hants?

Camping Grottes de Roffy, near Sarlat in the Dordogne?

The caves at Padirac or Domme or Rocamadour?

Don't hold out too much hope of anyone else knowing the first ones on this post.

Yes to the JCB at Loughborough and the taxi rank at Shenfield.

How about the toilets at Rochford Station - runner up of the Loveliest Loos 2001?

Yes to the Menhirs at Carnac. And that was while you were still allowed to wander around at will.

The jail at Inverary?

Castles - Edinburgh, Stirling, Crathes, Drum, Fraser, Kildrummie, Balmoral, Braemar?

I've been to Edinburgh Castle but then I suspect so have many others.

I heard they have been fenced off - probably a good thing in the long run, but I did spend many a happy holiday night at the little castley bit drinking and having a good time away from the parents on the campsite nearby .

No to those castles, what about Corfe Castle?

Bog Island is now a nightclub

Which campsite Kelli?

Des Menhirs? Or one of the others?

La Grande Metierie, another strangley specific place: Doux Dingues - the youf club thingy on the campsite.

Went there for four consecutive summers - lovely place

I take it you were on Des Menhirs?

Yup - and also the one right on the beach a wee bit further south. Those were great holidays. My son took his first steps on a Brittany Ferry!

I must be well travelled as I've got s to:

The top of Mount Teide, scene of the Planet of the Apes
The duty-free shop, Faro airport, Portugal ( I bought covered banana sweetie type things)
Underneath the Eiffel Tower (at night, about six weeks ago)

A small garage forecourt in Biggar,"small village of the year 1996" (we passed it on DoE)
Inversneckie Cafe (and most others along Aberdeen "fun" beach)

Half way down the cliffs at Coheithe, balanced on rocks.

Worlds End pub with Mina after a day of shopping in Camden.
Boness Library (we had to get a newspaper copy, and they were the only place that had kept it)

The computers on the fourth floor of the Imperial Library where I spent most of my years.

I'm still looking for someone else who's been to Tarfside, it doesn't even have to be the phone box, I'd settle for the water tap.

Come on, if folks have been to Biggar they must be some Tarfy visitor out there!!
